The Visitor

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Visitor

Nora's Pov…

The morning light streamed through the large windows curtains, creating a warm glow over the room.

I stirred slightly before slowly blinking my eyes open.

The space beside me was empty.

Keal and Killian weren't here. Did they leave again for a meeting?.

I frowned, pushing myself upright, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

I had barely processed my thoughts when I noticed a figure standing near the door.

A startled gasp left my lips as my heart skipped a beat.

But as my vision cleared, I let out a small sigh of relief.

It was just Alex. She also scared the hell out of me.

She raised an eyebrow at my reaction, her arms crossed.

"Good morning to you too," she said, a hint of amusement in her voice.

I let out a soft breath, placing a hand over my chest still trying to calm down the beating of my heart.

"Alex, you scared me."
